Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect BC and BCSC treatments increased sorghum dry biomass by 44.0-52.4%.
- Intervention effect BC and BCSC treatments increased sorghum yield by 132.9-192.3%.
- Intervention effect Sorghum root surface area and average diameter increased with BC and BCSC addition.
- Intervention effect The BCSC treatment performed better than the other treatments.
- Mechanism The enhanced growth and yield of sorghum primarily resulted from improved soil properties (WHC, SOM, EC) and nutrient availability (Olsen-P and AK).
- Mechanism Increased diversity and shifted composition of soil bacteria with BC and BCSC addition might account for the increased growth and yield of sorghum.
- Association The relative abundance of beneficial Vicinamibacteraceae (39.0%) in rhizosphere soil was enhanced and positively correlated with available nutrients.
- Recommendation The authors conclude biochar-compost has potential to ameliorate degraded coastal soils and improve crop yield.
